E. E. PEAVEY STORM WINDOW OR SCREEN HANGER Filed Sept. 12, 1944 EmeSZE PW Patented Sept. 2, 1947 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE STORM WINDOW OR SCREEN HANGER Ernest E. Peavey, Bangor, Maine Application September 12, 1944, Serial No. 553,779 1 Claim. (01. 292-251) The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in hangers or fasteners for storm windows or sash and screen and has for its primary object to provide overlying plates attached respectively to a window frame and to a storm sash or screen together with means for releasably connecting the plates together to cause a tight fitting engagement of the storm sash or screen with the window frame.

An important object of the present invention is to provide a storm sash or screen hanger of this character by means of which the storm sash may be attached to the outer surface of a window frame, or to the inner edge of the frame, if desired.

A still further object is to provide a device of this character of simple and practical construction, which is neat and attractive in appearance, stron and durable, relatively'inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended.

Other objects and advantages reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:

Figure 1 is a view in elevation showing the attaching plate in attached position.

Figure 2 is a side elevational view showing the construction provided for attaching the storm sash or screen to the inner edge of a window frame.

Figure 3 is a similar view showing the form of the invention for attaching the storm sash or screen to the outer surface of a window frame.

Figure 4 is a front edge elevational view.

Figure 5 is a plan view of the attaching plate attached to the storm sash.

Figure 6 is a similar view of the attaching plate for attaching to the window frame, and

Figure 7 is a side elevational view of the bolt and wing nut for connecting the plate.

Referring now to the drawings in detail wherein for the purpose of illustration I have disclosed a preferred embodiment of the invention, the numeral 5 designates an attaching plate adapted for attaching to a window frame 6 by means of the screws 1, an intermediate portion of the plate being offset outwardly to space the same from the surface of the window frame, one edge 5 of the offset portion being formed with a slot 8 having a flared entrance 9.

A second attaching plate It! is attached at one end to the outer surface of the frame of a storm sash or screen H by means of the screws I2, the other end of the plate l projecting outwardly of the frame and formed with an elongated slot l3, the free end of the plate l0 being adapted to overlie the offset portion of the plate and the slot 13 being adapted to align with the slot 8.

5 then draws the plates toward each other so that the storm sash or screen I I is held tightly against the outer surface of the window frame 6 as shown to advantage in Figure 3 of the drawings.

In certain types of windows where the storm sash or screen is adapted for mounting flush with the window frame as shown in Figure 2 of the drawings, the free end of the plate I0 is formed with an offset I! to space the free end of the plate 5 and with the slots 8 and [3 in aligned 16 position.

The bolt l4 and wing nut l6 are retained in position in the slot l3 when the storm sash or screen is removed and when hanging the storm sash or screen in position it is only necessary 20 to slide the head l5 of the bolt under the offset portion of the plate 5 for entering the slot 8 and then tighten the wing nut l6.

It is believed that the details of construction and manner of use of the device will be readily understood from the foregoing without further detailed explanation.

Having thus described the invention, what I claim is:

A storm sash or screen hanger comprising a pair of attaching plates adapted for attaching respectively to the frame of a window and to the frame of the storm sash with one end of the plate carried by the storm sash projecting outwardly at the outer edge of the storm sash and positioned in overlyin relation with respect to the plate carried by the window frame outwardly therefrom, said plate carried by the window frame having an outwardly offset portion therein provided with a slot open at one edge of the plate and said overlying portion of the other of first-mentioned plate behind said offset portion.
